1. Qualitative information regarding quarterly results 1Explanation of operating results

During the first half of the current fiscal year, expectations for economic recovery and growth increased throughout the global economy due to the progress in vaccinations against the novel coronavirus in major countries. This has led to the gradual lifting of behavioral restrictions as the number of newly infected people decreases and has also led to the implementation of ongoing accommodative monetary policies. In the domestic economy, a third emergency declaration was issued in April as the number of infected people increased again, and the sense of economic stagnation intensified accordingly.

In light of this environment, the Company has actively expanded the functions of its fully automated robo-advisor "WealthNavi," increased the number of its alliance partners, hired human resources to strengthen its business base, and engaged in advertising activities such as TV commercials, all to achieve continuous business growth.

Regarding the expansion of the functions of "WealthNavi," the Company began offering "Robo-NISA" as part of its direct business in February. "Robo-NISA" is a feature leveraging the NISA's tax exemption merits while enabling the wealth management of long-term investment with a globally diversified portfolio through "WealthNavi." In June, the Company also started offering "Robo-NISA" for "WealthNavi for SBI Securities," a service provided in partnership with SBI Securities Co., Ltd., and "Hokkoku Omakase Navi," a service provided in partnership with The Hokkoku Bank, Ltd.

In addition, the Company has been promoting the expansion of its alliance partners, and in June, the Company concluded business alliance agreements with The Taiko Bank, Ltd. and The Chukyo Bank, Ltd. The Company plans to offer a managed account service with a hybrid of online and face-to-face support.

As a result, as of June 30, 2021, there were 287 thousand users and assets under management totaled 485.2 billion yen. Consequently, the operating revenue was 1,954 million yen, and the net operating revenue after deducting financial expenses of

9 million yen from the total operating revenue was 1,944 million yen for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the selling, general, and administrative expenses cost was 2,119 million yen, resulting in an operating profit excluding advertising expenses of 521 million yen, an operating loss of 175 million yen, an ordinary loss of 176 million yen, and a quarterly net loss of 178 million yen for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company only operates in a single segment being the robo-advisor business, and thus, no segment information is reported.

2Explanation of financial position

(Assets)

Total assets as of June 30, 2021 were 17,509 million yen, up 2,131 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase is mainly due to the increase of 3,200 million yen in cash segregated as deposits for customers and a corresponding decrease in cash and deposits of 1,784 million yen.

(Liabilities)

Total liabilities as of June 30, 2021 were 10,097 million yen, up 1,635 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to a 1,605 million yen increase in the amount of deposits received associated with the increase in funds received from customers, etc.

(Net assets)

Total net assets as of June 30, 2021 were 7,411 million yen, up 495 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was caused by an increase in share capital of 336 million yen from a third-party allotment related to a secondary offering through an over-allotment etc., an increase in legal capital surplus of 336 million yen, and a decrease in retained earnings of 178 million yen due to the recording of a net loss.

(3) Explanation of cash flow

Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter, "net cash") as of June 30, 2021 totaled 8,915 million yen, a decrease of 1,173 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. Cash flows and sources thereof during the six months period ending June 30, 2021 were as follows.

(Cash flows from operating activities)

Net cash used in operating activities was 1,794 million yen. This is mainly due to 3,200 million yen increase in cash segregated as deposits for customers and 1,605 million yen increase in deposits received.

(Cash flows from investing activities)

Net cash used in investing activities was 38 million yen. This is mainly due to acquisition of intangible assets in the amount of 29 million yen.

(Cash flows from financing activities)

Net cash provided by financing activities was 660 million yen. This is mainly due to 660 million yen in proceeds from issuance of new shares due to a third-party allotment related to a secondary offering through an over-allotment.

(4) Explanation of non-consolidated financial results forecasts and other forward-looking statements

There is no change to the financial results forecast for the year-ending December 31, 2021 announced on May 14, 2021.
